- Summary
-
During the American Civil War, a small group of Unionists found themselves trapped in the largest Southern city between Richmond and New Orleans. Atlanta was a Confederate bastion. The military ruled, and it brooked little dissent. But, as this work demonstrates, the Confederate military hadn't reckoned on Cyrena Stone. A Vermont native, Cyrena moved to Atlanta with her husband, Amherst, in 1854. After war broke out Amherst escaped to the North, but Cyrena remained behind. Hiding her small Union flag in her sugar bowl, suppressing but not moderating her well-known pro-Northern views, she belonged to a secret circle of Unionists - white and black, male and female - who lived in fear of their lives but nevertheless managed to aid Union prisoners of war, protect the interests of the slaves and freedmen, and spirit military intelligence out of the city - eventually to the benefit of Sherman's advancing army. A story of loyalty and patriotism, this work draws on sources such as a long-lost diary and a work of purported fiction based closely on Stone's experience. It seeks to bring the adventures of the Atlanta Unionists to life, as deprivation and suspicion tightened like a noose around them in the closing, increasingly desperate years of the war. Arrested on suspicion of spying (the penalty was death) but released by the Southern authorities, her house destroyed by Union shelling during the fall of Atlanta, Cyrena Stone survived the war to see the triumph of the cause for which she had risked her life.

- Summary
-
United States Supreme Court Justice James Moore Wayne is the most famous Georgian nobody knows. When his home state seceded from the Union in 1861, Wayne retained his seat on the US Supreme Court and remained loyal to the Union as the nation lunged headlong into war. He knew the insanity of secession, and warned of the folly of disunion, but his son, Col. Henry Wayne, resigned his commission in the US Army and cast his lot with the Confederacy. This book tells their story and examines the nature of Georgia's strong and largely overlooked unionist sentiment in the decades before the Civil War. Wayne's father was loyal to the British crown during the American Revolution, and was branded a traitor. His son remained loyal to the Confederacy during the Civil War, and was branded a rebel. Yet, Wayne stood foursquare for the Union and remained loyal to the nation he served, and in his mind, remained faithful to the state he loved. Wayne and his staunch stand for union before and during the Civil War mark him as an outlier in the story perpetuated by the Myth of the Lost Cause, but Wayne's story opens a long closed window into the economic, political, and social dimensions of unionism in the state of Georgia. Written with the precision of an engineer, analyzed with the acumen of a financier, and researched with the critical eye of the historian, Our Good and Faithful Servant adds to a growing number of works exploring the struggle between supporters of union and disunion during the Antebellum Era.
